Babies Got Back

Internet, I have done you a disservice. I have been married for almost two years and I have yet to show you the video of my brother and sister performing a spontaneous—yet choreographed—dance to "Baby Got Back" at my wedding while a crowd of onlookers forms a semi-circle around them and cheers at this sudden and unexpected turn of events. 

Man, it just goes to show: you can individually hand-stamp so many cocktail napkins that Martha Stewart herself would bow down before you, but you cannot plan for what happens on the dance floor.

(Special thanks to Kristin for the video. And for asking my mother, in the middle of it, what she thinks.)

Maybe they were having that twin telepathy thing going on.

Your dress is gorgeous!!!! Looks like a really fun wedding -- those are the best.

Is your brother single? I'd like to hook him up with my little sister. :)

Okay, yeah that was weird. I'm joking. Well... half-joking. But really... she's gorgeous and fun and well she lives in Miami but there are ways to work around that.

The best part is that as soon as your sister sort of evaporates in embarrassment, YOU in your fabulous wedding gown are RIGHTTHERE (twirling your invisible lariat in the air, even!) to continue all the dancing and carryin' on! The family that Baby Gots Back Together STAYS TOGETHER or something. I wish I were a Burns! Y'all have some serious big fun up in there with your marshmallows and your bonfires and your Letters Q and your weddins and your mysterious gophers.

LOVE THE VIDEO :)

Also - I don't know if you know this or not, but Tristan Prettyman used a picture of the canvas above your bed on her blog today! (I love her!)

I felt a little voyeuristic knowing that it was your bedroom the moment I saw it, but I've been planning to do something similar myself so I made some serious mental notes while reading your blog.

That is hilariously perfect!

My wedding was not nearly as fun, or as choreographed.

HA! I never realized you didn't post the Babies on the WWW for all to see their mad dance moves!

(Also, I totally don't remember asking your mom that! I hope she only had nice things to say about her youngest spawn...)

Yes, that's where they learned it from, years ago when they were bored.

OMG. I love that they choreographed it beforehand. You know, we ought to really prepare something for our dear sister's wedding...I know, what about a routine to the ever popular "Baby Got back."
